Crimping machine features automated quality control reporting options

Lillbacka Corp. has introduced the Finn-Power King Crimper 1200. It has a maximum crimping force of 1,200 tons and a crimping range from 7.87 to 25.59 in.

The unit is equipped with a new UC controller, which features automated quality control reporting options and menu-guided operation. The feedback of the master die position allows part crimp dimensions to be changed in seconds, the company states.

The controller also includes a feedback device for monitoring of the opening stroke to be set to an exact position. This reduces energy consumption and enhances the cycle time of the machine, since it negates the need to run the machine fully open or fully closed. The crimping machine goes into a stand-by mode when not in operation.The machine is suitable for crimping tubes, pipes, and fittings. It can correct out-of-round or oval pipe ends for preparation of welding or threading of the ends on a pipe. The operating unit can be placed freely, allowing the crimper to be used from the front, back, or side, and the remote control gives the operator more possibilities.
